The New Dipeptide TSPO Ligands: Design, Synthesis and Structure–Anxiolytic Activity Relationship
The translocator protein (TSPO, 18 kDa) plays an important role in the synthesis of neurosteroids by promoting the transport of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is the rate-limiting step in neurosteroidogenesis. Stimulation of TSPO by appropriate ligands increase...
